Cognitive abilities are thinking skills that have the knowledge, intelligence and relationships of students with their environment. Effective learning for early childhood education, needs to be supported by a conducive learning environment and atmosphere, through play activities. To accustom children to think critically and creatively in solving a problem, researchers used a monopoly game media to develop cognitive abilities in problem solving in children aged 5-6 years in group B of Elektrika Kindergarten. The study was conducted by quasi-pretest and posttest experimental methods in the experimental and control groups. The results showed that the experimental class was 34,167% while the control was 20,875%. This increase was also seen from the results of the percentage value in the N-gain test with a value of 29.142% in the experiments and controls of 20.571%. This shows that the problem solving ability of groups whose learning uses media monopoly is better than groups that use ordinary learning.
